Longer extension cords may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
An extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord must
be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance, and the longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape

THE QUEST
FOR THE PERFECT
CUP OF COFFEE
ELEMENT 1
Coffee is 98% water. The quality of that
water is as important as the quality of
your coffee. If water doesn’t taste good
from the tap, it won’t taste good in your
coffee. Cuisinart includes a charcoal
water filter to remove chlorine, bad tastes
and odors, for the purest coffee flavor
every time you brew.
ELEMENT 2
While coffee is 98% water, the flavor
comes mainly from the beans. To achieve
the same great taste you enjoy at a
coffee bar, buy only a two-week supply
of fresh coffee beans at a time. Once the
bean is broken, its flavor degrades
quickly. That’s why this coffeemaker
grinds your beans just prior to brewing.
ELEMENT 3
The grind is critical for proper flavor
extraction. If the grind is too fine,
overextraction and bitterness will result.
Too fine a grind may also clog the filter.
If the grind is too coarse, the water will
pass through too quickly and the
maximum flavor will not be extracted.
Your coffeemaker is preset for medium
grind, the optimal grind for this type of
brewing process.
ELEMENT 4
Coffee that is too strong or too weak
is always a disappointment. Follow the
recommended portions in the instructions
under Making Coffee, and later adjust the
amount to your taste.
DO NOT OVERFILL THE GRINDER WITH
BEANS OR IT COULD MALFUNCTION
AND/OR THE COFFEEMAKER COULD
OVERFLOW.
